Looks like a setuptools problem to me.  Here's the output on my system:

>>> help("modules")

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds)

    self.help(request)

    elif request == 'modules': self.listmodules()

    ModuleScanner().run(callback)
